Barcelona midfielder, IIkay Gundogan has named England as one of the favourites to win the Euro 2024.
The Germany midfielder believes the Three Lions should not be underestimated.
The former Manchester City captain spoke ahead of England’s Round of 16 clash with Slovakia on Sunday.
Speaking to The Athletic, Gundogan said:
“Never underestimate England. They finished top of the group and got the results. In these tournaments, that is a massive thing.
“Getting the results gives you confidence and motivation to play better.”
He added, “Maybe only France has a similar squad in terms of talent and potential. England are still among the favourites.
“In the knockouts, they are full of experience — but I can understand the criticism saying they could play better.”
